I wrote this book before the onset of the pandemic in the U.S., but I think it can serve as a useful tool now more than ever. Maybe, as you've begun to navigate your own kitchen and the grocery aisles, you've noticed how much waste you accumulate at home. Or maybe you're interested in consuming less meat, but aren't really sure where to start. Or perhaps you'd like to know if that natural, grass-fed, cage-free, healthy something-or-other is actually delivering on its promise. 

This book can help you cut through the noise and better understand the food you buy and cook, hopefully empowering you to make more informed purchasing decisions. This book also acknowledges and explains how the food and environmental crises we're experiencing right now are not at all your fault. So while you're not to blame for plastic bags caught in tree branches, you may feel you have some kind of responsibility to do something about it. I'm with you and I look forward to tackling the mountains of garbage (both figurative and literal) together.
